00:00Just in the repetition of Komelek in the balotas,
00:03the former Ilocuster Governor Chavez-Singzon backed off the senatorial race.
00:09Even if he spent hundreds of millions of pesos on printing,
00:14the Supreme Court's order to put in the balotas
00:18the former disqualified aspirants must be followed.
00:21Dano Tingcunco got it right.
00:23Because of his condition, the former Ilocuster Governor Chavez-Singzon
00:29formally backed off the candidacy of the senatorial race in the election of 2025.
00:36I was infected with pneumonia.
00:38I was infected twice this year.
00:41I don't want to be the third.
00:43He personally suggested that Komelek,
00:46even though the withdrawal of the so-called May Authorization could also be allowed,
00:50should bring his medical certificate.
00:52First of all, I want to be the first chairman.
00:55You might think that I'm just fooling around.
00:57That's why I went there myself.
00:59Timing for Komelek,
01:01especially that they need to change the balota
01:03because the Supreme Court added a few candidates not to be disqualified.
01:07The name of Singzon will not be included in the new balota
01:11and his candidate number may go to someone else.
01:14The added candidate of the court may also be affected.
01:17Either it will go up or down.
01:21Is there a change?
01:23There's only one change.
01:25Six million balotas printed for P150 million will be destroyed.
01:31It's really a waste of six million balotas.
01:34That's why it's really part of the process.
01:36As long as Komelek's commitment,
01:38even if it's like this,
01:40we will continue our efforts on May 12.
01:42For now, the inventory of balotas printed continues.
01:46For GMA Integrated News,
01:48I'm Dan Otingcun, for Tutok 24 Hours.
